Somewhere in Mumbai:

Boy: Hello boss! Nandini shopping mall ke liye nikali hain. Mere informer ne abhi call kiya tha. Information pakki hain. Mera aadmi bhi nikal chuka hain. Aaj uska last day hain iss duniya mein. Kaam hote hi aapko call karunga.
The person disconnected the call and laughed cunningly.

Shopping Mall
They reached shopping mall in half an hour. Navya messaged someone and headed towards girl's showroom with Nandini. They tried many dresses, accessories, shoes and came out carrying a lot of shopping bags.

Nandini: I'm tired now..

Navya: Yes, me too! Let's have something.

Nandini showed thumbs up.

They headed towards food court placed order and grabbed their seats.
Nandini: Finally shopping ho gayi.
Navya: Ha bohot maza aaya. We should often come here.
Nandini: You are right Navya!
Their food arrived and they had a great feast.
Nandini: Accha Navya..ek baat batao..tum first year ki student ho na?
Navya: Ha...kyu?
Nandini: Maine Space ke baare main bohot suna hain. I am very excited. Tum bhi kuch batao na?
Navya: Space Academy bohot badi hain. Tumhe pata hain main jab first time space main gayi thi na to mujhe aisa laga ki main Karan Johar ki koyi film main hun.
Nandini: Haha Navya...kuch bhi bolti ho tum.
Navya: Arre sachhi Nandu. Tum dekho gi na to tum bhi vahi bologi.
Nandini: Thik hai. Tumhare koi friends hain? Unke baare main batao na?
Navya: Ha hain na Fab 5.
Nandini: Fab 5? Ye kon hain?
Navya: Tumhe Fab5 nahi pata?
Nandini: Nahi. Kyu pata hona chahiye tha kya?
Navya: Offo Nandu! Fab5 famous band hain. They have completed 2 albums and now they are doing 3rd album with M-Labels.
Nandini- Okay. Par naam to batao tumhare friends ke?
Navya: Alya, Dhruv, Mukti, Cabir and Manik. Alya plays keyboard and is dhruv's girlfriend. Dhruv and mukti are guitarists. Cabu... I mean Cabir is drummer and Manik is lead singer and guitarist.
Nandini: Ohh! Waise Fab 5 ke baare main to pata chal gaya par ye Cabu ka kya chakkar hain?
Navya: wo..wo Nandu...Cabir mera boyfriend hain.
Nandini: Ohhh Navya! You are blushing. Boyfriend and all haa! Mujhe kab milaogi sabase?
Navya: Nandini....tum bhi na. Main kal college main mila dungi.
Both had a great time and left from mall. They were waiting for cab when Navya's phone started ringing. She excused herself and left aside for talking.
Nandini was standing when a car came on full speed towards her. She was busy with her phone. The car came very close to her when someone pushed her towards opposite direction. She was shocked but composed herself. Navya came running. People also gathered near her but person who saved her left from there.
Navya: Tum thik ho na Nandu? Tumhe chot to nahi aayi na? I am sorry.. Mujhe tumhe akela chhod ke nahi jana chahiye tha.
Nandini: Arre Navya sorry kyu bol rahi ho. Tumhari koi galti nahi hain. Aur main thik hun.
Navya: Nandu ghar chalte hain. Cab bhi aa gayi hain.
Navya helped Nandini to walk and both left for home.

In the car
Person: Hello boss! Wo bach gayi. Sorry boss! Wo mar gayi hothi agar wo ladka use nahi bachata.
Boy: Dammit! You idiot... Tumse ek kaam nahi hota. Kon tha wo ladka?
Person: Sorry boss! Per uss ladke ka chehra nahi dekh paya main.
Boy: Tum kuch kaam ke nahi ho. Phone rakho ab.
The boy disconnected the call and said, " Ab mujhe hi kuch karna padega."

In the apartment
Both reached and sat on the sofa. Navya brought first aid box and cleaned her wound. She did her bandage and gave painkiller.
Navya: Nandu tum aaram karo. Main dinner ka dekhti hun.
Nandini: Navya main thik hun.
Navya: Tum chup chap room main jao. It's my order.
Nandini went to her room and Navya moved towards kitchen.

Nandini's room
Nandini entered in her room and decided to take shower. After half an hour she came wearing night dress. She was drying her hairs when her phone started ringing. She received the call immediately.
Nandini: Hello dad! How are you?
Dad: Hello beta! Main bohot achha hun. Tu kaisi hai?
Nandini: Main bhi achhi hun. Aapko pata hain main aur Navya aaj shopping ke liye gaye the. Humne bohot saari shopping ki.
Dad: Achhi baat hain. Navya tumhari roommate hain na? Wo kaisi hain? Tum uske saath comfortable to ho na?
Nandini: Ha dad. Wo bohot achhi hain. Hum bohot achhe dost bangaye hain.
Dad: Meri beti khush to main bhi khush. Ab main phone rakhta hun. Dinner karke jaldi sojana. All the best for tomorrow. Good night and take care.
Nandini: Thank you dad. Good night and take care.
Nandini ended the call when Navya entered with two plates of khichadi. Nandini and Navya had dinner and Navya left after wishing her good night.

In the big mansion, Mumbai
A six feet tall boy was standing in the balcony wearing t-shirt and shorts. He was handsome, his perfectly gelled hair, his firm and jaw were complementing his look. His chocolatey brown eyes were filled with anger. Yes, he is Manik Malhotra.
Another boy came and kept his hand on Manik's shoulder. He is none other than Cabir Dhawan.
Cabir: Tu kya soch raha hain?
Manik: Yahi ki ab bohot hogaya chhupna. Samne ane ka waqt aa gaya hain.
Cabir: You are right. Chal ab soja. Kal bohot important day hain. Main Navya se ek baar baat kar leta hun. Good night.
Manik: Good night.
Cabir left from Manik's room. Manik also slept thinking about tomorrow.

What is manik talking about? Is he related to Nandini's accident? Or is this a starting of new chapter?
